then it was john boehner who planned to pass plan "b" that very same week. then it was mr. boehner who said it was up to the senate, someone else's problem. just from a pr perspective, what john boehner has done here is a debacle for the republicans. and the white house, they've just been sitting back the last week or so and letting it happen. but today, they gave us their plan going forward. you could call it deal and jam. >> i'm optimistic we may still be able to reach an agreement that could pass both houses in time. senators reid and mcconnell are working on such an agreement as we speak. but if an agreement isn't reached in time, between senator reid and senator mcconnell, than i will urge senator reid to bring to the floor a basic package for an up or down vote, one that protects the middle class from an income tax hike, extends the vital lifeline of unemployment insurance to 2 million american looking for a job, and lays the groundwork for future cooperation on more economic growth and deficit reduction. you guys, i can hear you over there. i believe such a proposal

john boehner in congress today ran into this one so hard i thought he was going to break something. after president obama announced his support for same-sex marriage yesterday, but before we found out that mitt romney as an 18-year-old led a chasing mob to hold down a younger classmate as they cut off his hair and as he cried and screamed for help. in that brief interlude in this last news cycle, at 11:30 p.m. last night, literally in the dead of night, in washington, in congress, house republicans are working on a pair of bills related to the defense department, bills about the pentagon budget. and they decided that their contribution to this news cycle that is unexpectedly all about gay issues in politics would be to add two anti-gay amendments to this defense bill they're working on. one amendment to try to block gay soldiers to get married and to protect people who discriminate against gay troops. that's nice. and another amendment to further their support for the anti-gay defense of marriage act, which the obama administration says is unconstitutional. these are defense bills.

this week john boehner passed his long awaited highway bill through the house. there was something related inside that bill. tucked inside the highway bill was there, the federal energy regulatory commission shall not later than 30ç days after set an application issue a permit without additional conditions for the construction, operation and maintenance of the keystone oil pipeline. the keystone pipeline would transport something called tar sands throughout the midwest. as bad as we are of cleaning up crude oil, we have no idea how to clean up spills of tar sands oil. congress's role is to do nothing to improve the safety of drilling. they are trying to force new oil projects to be approved even when we know overtly that they are not safe. they are insisting that the safety concerns be overridden. that is sort of reflective of the overall politics on this issue. it's as if bp never happened. the biggest offshore spill in american history that continues to leave those along with gulf coast with what appears to be lifelong health problems. the fight in this year
